Convicted Rapist Charged in Another Sexual Assault

A man sentenced to life in prison last week for raping a 75-year-old woman in August in her Sterling Park home has been charged with a similar sexual assault that occurred several months earlier, Loudoun County authorities said yesterday.

Arnold J. Mancia-Morales, a 25-year-old illegal immigrant from Honduras with five prior convictions, was sentenced Thursday to life in prison plus 53 years for breaking into a home and raping the resident at knifepoint.

Yesterday, the county sheriff's office said Mancia-Morales will also be charged in an attack on a 51-year-old woman that occurred in April in the Newberry section of Sterling Park. Warrants for rape, breaking and entering, abduction to defile and forcible sodomy were served on him yesterday at the county jail.

Police said circumstances of that incident were similar to those in the August attack, when Mancia-Morales broke through the glass door of the 75-year-old woman's home shortly after midnight, waking her. When she went to investigate the noise, Mancia-Morales attacked.

"This is an atrocious case, and the victim continues to struggle to deal with this," Commonwealth's Attorney James E. Plowman said in a statement. In the four-day jury trial, Mancia-Morales received a life sentence for rape, 30 years for armed burglary, 22 years for abduction and one year for assault. DNA and other medical evidence was used to convict him.

If he is released from prison, Mancia-Morales will be transferred into the custody of federal immigration authorities. His prior offenses included a 2006 felony burglary conviction in Clarke County and four misdemeanor charges in Loudoun County in 2007 and 2008, including two assaults.

"His crimes just kept escalating," Plowman said.

this undocumented(illegal piece of garbage) is another good example and justification of the death penalty and/or evicting them to whatever hole they came from,to face swift justice from his own. fat chance

One crime committed by an illegal alien should guarantee a harsh prison sentence followed by deportation. This would eliminate these kind of things form happening.

Here is another example of wasted tax money for an illegal immigrant. He should be deported and placed into the prisons of Honduras instead of keeping him in VA's prison system for life at 32 K a year.

Again, another violent crime by an illegal alien. Most crimes by illegal aliens are preventable in that the illegal alien should not be here in the first place. Additionally, when an illegal alien is caught the first time, he/she should be deported.

For every illegal alien who commits a crime there are ten who work hard all day and night and are contributing members of our society.

A lot of people are talking about deporting him. If he was deported how long would it take for him to get back in the states. Deporting doesn't work so well if you can come right back in. It seems like we should deal with that issue first.

CR10 do you think this is Barack's fault? Please elaborate I am interested to hear the logic behind that.

Don't forget that this country is built on illegal immigrants, what do you think the pilgrims were?

Unless there is a bold message by our local and national government that the presence of illegal aliens won't be tolerated, then the criminal activities will continue to flourish and this country will continue to be the land of opportunity for them to realize their criminal intent. Billions of dollars focused on our country's economic recovery will be used to fund social welfare to prop up and sustain illegal aliens.

Criminal offenses of this nature should carry with them a mandatory life sentence, without possibility of parole.

If there is absolutely no doubt of the guilt of the accused, then stricter limits must be placed on that person's options for further legal defense.

It simply costs too much and is unsustainable to the penal system.

Whatever the cause behind his behavior, he must not have the future option of being freed to commit more violence.

The fact that this guy is human waste hardly justifies the incredible evil being poured all over this board. I mean...there is actually one post advocating for the rape of the loved ones of politicians and police as 'punishment' for the fact that this guy was in the country in the first place. Is that a real suggestion or are you in need of help, yourself? I also think that those here illegally are a problem that needs to be rectified but, at the same time, hardly hold them responsible for the actions of Morales since the overwhelming majority are working as hard as they can and getting almost nothing in return except the chance to support themselves and their families. Let's get a grip here.

So when will enough, be enough, fellow Americans? Maybe when the "action" we read about daily in Mexico is endemic to our own towns and cities? I guess it depends on how one defines "terrorist" as William Jefferson Clinton might advise us.

In other words, one more very big argument/reason why the United States should exit Iraq and Afghanistan as gracefully but as soon as possible. Out National Guard has work aplenty to attend to at home without wasting precious lives and resources in faraway places where the locals really don't welcome our prescence.

Is anybody surprised that a POS illegal immigrant from Latin America committed a violent sexual assault? It's par for the course over there. They rape women over there with impunity. He just figured that he was afforded those same rights here in US. The scum should have been deported years ago when he was convicted for burglary.

expobuyer,your inflammatory language is proof that we "yanks" have a war on our hands. You're implying that people are coming to our country to wage "war" on us? And we shouldn't have a right to arrest and deport them and feel anger towards the violence and crimes against our people? Our country does not torture immigrants. We feed, clothe, and medically treat them, including the criminals. We have laws that protect everyone, including illegal immigrants and we provide them with legal counsel and a fair trial by jury. We are not the problem.

WaPo, Stop deleting inoffensive posts. This illegal alien had prior convictions and was still not deported. I bet the police and politicians would be singing another tune if it has been one of their loved ones raped. It is just a matter of time though.

There is plenty of evidence that violent sex-offenders cannot be rehabilitated, nor can they be punished into not re-offending. So, the suggestions to separate this rapist from his bodily weapon, while certainly tempting as a form of revenge, would likely only result in him using an object in his next rape. Recall the brutal rape in Arlington a few years ago (also by an illegal alien, I might add) where the victim was raped with a tree branch. Castration won't stop violent sex offenders. They ALL need to be either imprisoned for life or executed, and then the US needs to deduct the costs of imprisonment, trial, etc. from our aid to their country of origin. These countries knowingly push their violent criminals out their doors to the US. Time to stop the cycle, on a few different levels.

"For every illegal alien who commits a crime there are ten who work hard all day and night and are contributing members of our society."
===============

Every illegal alien is committing a crime by being here. One-hundred-percent of them. Todos...

As to this particular POS, regardless of his immigration status and such, he's 22 and so-called life+ probably means he'll be on the streets by the time he's 40ish. Forget deportation. I hope he gets fitted for a forty-four the moment he gets out of prison. And I'm not talking about his pant size...

It doesn't need to be said again. I just hope the victims and families of victims sue the US Government, State Governments and Local Governments who were complicit in ignoring his legal status time and time again.

Too many people ignore the severity ofillegal immigration until it is their family member who is hurt or killed.

Illegal immigration is a federal law enforcement issue thus Clarke County couldn't do anything about deporting him. If our government, who's bound by oath to protect US CITIZENS would enforce laws on the books, this woman wouldn't have been terrorized by this animal. It doesn't matter if he's the bad apple, if you're here illegally and the government had done their job, there would have been one less citizen victimized. That's the point.

And to whomever said this was Bush's fault, get a clue.....

Much as dipicted in the Movie Scarface that came out after the Cuban immigrant exodus from Cuba to the United States many of these new arrivals were jailed criminals. Due to our porous borders with Mexico I wonder how many criminal immigrants (they knew that by coming here illegally they would all be classified as criminals) came here and continued their criminal enterprise.
There are thousands of mothballed Liberty ships in harbors all across the United States and surely the cost which is finite of refurbishing them for dozens of trips to Panama, Guatamala, Belize, Costa Rica, Honduras, El Salvador and Mexico would be cheaper than allowing them to stay here and sponge off of us for infinitum.
